Joe Rose extends contract with WQAM

Former Miami Dolphins tight end Joe Rose has signed a three-year contract extension with WQAM (560-AM) that runs through 2015, the station announced Monday.

The Joe Rose Show airs weekday mornings from 6-10 a.m.

Rose, who played seven seasons for the Dolphins (1980-86), joined the WQAM morning show in 1992.

"WQAM has been my broadcast home for over 20 years, and I’m happy that I’ll be staying home for at least three more," said Rose.

Rose also handles color commentary for the Dolphins radio broadcast and is a sports anchor for NBC Channel 6.

Aside from his radio and television work, Rose is probably best known for catching Dan Marino's first touchdown pass in the NFL. He also has the distinction of having caught two touchdown passes in the Dolphins-Chargers thriller in 1982. The Chargers won 41-38 in overtime.

Rose was a seventh round draft pick from the University of California at Berkeley.
